2. Using a garden hose or pressure washer can force water into the air cleaner or
muffler opening.

4. The motor should always be kept clean. No water drops, cotton etc should be
allowed to get into the interior of the motors.

CAUTION
SDG CLEANUP & MAINTENANCE
Check folding handle latch periodically. This is adjustable. To adjust, loosen the lock nut on the
latch and then screw in until a satisfactory tension has been achieved. Always be sure the folding
handle latch is secure and has not vibrated loose after use.
The wheel bearings use sealed bearings and require no regular greasing.
To minimize vibration and uneven diamond wear, rotate plate every 2 hours.
Failure to do so can lead to premature wear of the flexible coupling.
When grinding, the machine is exposed to high vibration. Check machine for bolts/nuts which may
have vibrated loose.
